EDUCATION ISSUES: ARIZONA BILL WOULD REQUIRE TEACHERS TO GET PARENTAL PERMISSION TO USE STUDENTS' "PREFERED PRONOUNS"

December 30, 2022 | Terresa Monroe-Hamilton -- Republican Arizona State Senator-Elect John Kavanagh is proposing a bill that will require permission from parents in order for teachers and other school employees to use a student’s preferred pronouns that do not reflect their biological sex.

“An employee or independent contractor of a school district or charter school may not knowingly address, identify or refer to a student who is under eighteen years of age by a pronoun that differs from the pronoun that aligns with the student’s biological sex unless the school district or charter school receives written permission from the student’s parent,” the legislation asserts.
